See the entry SCHEDD_ROUND_ATTR_<xxxx> in the Manual, available at URL

The short story is DiskUsage by default is rounded up so that similar 
jobs may be grouped together into "autoclusters" for negotiation 
purposes.  The unrounded "raw" value is kept in DiskUsage_RAW.  You can 
learn about the algorithm behind HTCondor's autoclustering in this
